What Anti-Virus scanning exclusions should be considered for system and servers? (Continued)

Hello everyone,
I am hoping to create a reference guide for all those looking for antivirus exclusion lists (files, folders and/or

processes that should not be scanned by AV) for common applications. I found the following links, which were extremely

helpful: (http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2007/05/14/what-anti-virus-scanning-exclusions-should-be-

considered-for-system-and-servers.aspx) and (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158/) and

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943556) Please help me augment my growing list.  (The person who donates the most

exclusions gets the points)

Here is what I have generated so far.  Feel free to comment if you feel I am an idiot for those listed.  AND THANKS for

your help:
